Convocation is the University’s most important ceremony, for it is here that we celebrate the accomplishments of our students and the contributions of their loved ones to their success. You should be proud of this day and of the commitment and sacrifice that it represents. In this our Centennial year, we at the University of Saskatchewan are especially proud of our accomplishments over the past 100 years, and it is thanks in large part to you, our students, who have helped us to achieve our goal of building a world- class institution of higher learning. As we celebrate our successes with pride and anticipate our future with excitement, the University of Saskatchewan is ready to expand on the original vision of our founders. Our mission now is to engage fully in all we do, to enlighten all we serve, and to explore all aspects of our world.

  • A Last-Year Student Awarded a Major National Grant
    Press Release For immediate publication A last-year student awarded a major national grant Montréal, September 30, 2016 — L’École supérieure de ballet du Québec is proud to announce that Étienne Gagnon-Delorme, a senior in its professional program, is the recipient of the Hnatyshyn Foundation’s grant for Dance. This $10,000 grant was awarded by a jury consisting of experts from Canada’s arts community. Established by the late Right Honourable Ramon John Hnatyshyn, the twenty-fourth Governor-General of Canada, the Hnatyshyn Foundation invests in and supports, at the most fundamental level, “the development of world-class artists of tomorrow.” “Étienne is an extremely gifted dancer and we’ve had the pleasure of working with him on the discovery of his many talents,” stated Anik Bissonnette, Artistic Director of l’École supérieure de ballet du Québec. She went on to add: “This well-deserved grant is the result of several years of passion, sustained effort, and a peerless work ethic. We are delighted that he has been recognized in this way by the Hnatyshyn Foundation.” Admitted to l’École supérieure’s professional dance program in 2013, Étienne has distinguished himself as both a performer and a choreographer. Last year, he joined the Grands Ballets Canadiens for the Nutcracker and, this fall, for Jean-Christophe Maillot’s Romeo & Juliet. About Anik Bissonnette As principal dancer of Montréal’s Grands Ballets Canadiens for close to 17 years, Anik Bissonnette distinguished herself both at home and abroad, receiving critical acclaim for her classical technique as well as her great musical sensibility.

Don’t Leave Home Without Them By Jean Cumming Choosing a litigator generally means your client has a problem; if your client has this problem in another country, there is heightened unpredictability in it – yes, even if the problem is in Canada. In view of the great similarities between our legal systems and the Canadian tendency to imitate the U.S. when drafting corporate and commercial legislation, it’s easy to forget that Canada has a different legal system than yours. The differences may come across as nuances, but if your client’s problem has developed into litigation or threatens to, you are tasked with closing off all nuances that can take that problem from bad to worse. That’s why you need the Lexpert® Guide to Canada’s top litigators. This Guide is a key information source for you to research and pursue the attorneys that are right for the forums in which you need them. And speaking of nuances, the forums themselves are increasingly diverse. Litigation is no longer synonymous with traditional courtrooms. The American Bar Association began study- ing this development several years ago under its “Vanishing Trial” initiative. Litigators as traditionally defi ned may be over-represented in our television shows (can you imagine a prime time drama set entirely in negotiation rooms?) but on the ground, the situation is much more complex.

As the Montreal Neurological Institute’s third director, having succeeded Theodore Rasmussen and Wilder Pen- field, he proved to be a visionary medical and scientific administrator. His keen interests in epilepsy and brain imaging were enhanced by a passion for medical history. Students and young people invariably gravitated to Dr. Feindel; he was a kind, patient, thoughtful, intelligent, and caring mentor who was never too busy for them.

Wilson (previously produced as Cedargrove Series #51/2019 – April 2019) *********************** EIC HISTORY AND ARCHIVES *********************** © EIC 2019 PO Box 40140, Ottawa ON K1V 0W8 +1 (613) 400-1786 / [email protected] / http://www.eic-ici.ca THE CEDAGROVE SERIES OF DISCOURSES, MEMOIRS AND ESSAYS #51/2019 REMEMBERED ENGINEERS by Andrew H. Wilson April 2019 Abstract The research for this paper was done as part of a sesquicentennial project on 150 Years of Canadian Engineering. For those included, their ‘remembrance’ either has been generally recognised among the members of the profession or has been the subject of judgement on my part (and may or may not be shared). It is important to remember that Canada’s early engineers were mostly civils, that many were immigrants, and that the profession has been male-dominated, although this dominance has been slowly diminishing over the past several decades. About the Series Principally, the Cedargrove Series is intended to preserve some of the research, writings and oral presentations that the author has completed over the past half-century or so but has not yet published. It is, therefore, the modern-day variant of the privately-published books and pamphlets written by his forebears, such as his paternal grandfather and grandmother and his grandfather’s brother John.

The speed at which the financial crisis rocketed around the Earth made it crystal clear just how Iprofoundly globalization has changed our world. For better and occasionally for worse, we are all now inextricably connected in a way that was unimaginable only a few decades ago. Crises, though, also force us to step back, to re- evaluate our practices and values. This year served as a collective reminder that financial profit must be matched with long-term sustainability, indivi - dual gain with social justice, and progress with prudence. It brought home for me again, forcefully, not only how important universities are in helping society to do just that—but also how much more we can do. McGill already has a remarkable impact on our local and global com mu nities, as this report will demonstrate, but our success cannot deter us from striving to do better.
